HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, April 16.—Tho House of Representatives yesterday passed tho naval appropriation 'bill. A motion to recommit the bill, with instructions to the naval committee to roport it back with an amendment providing for tho construction of one battle-ship, was lost by a vote of 123 to 101

The bill to defino and regulate the jurisdiction of United States courts was passed by tho House—yeas, 131 nays, 13 tlie bpeakor counting a quorum. Under tho hill tho terms of the circuit court are to bo held at the following places: Kirst circuit, Boston Second circuit, New York Third cirouit, Philadelphia Fourth circuit, Richmond, Va. Fifth circuit, New Orleans Sixth circuit, Cincinnati Seventh circuit, Chicago Eighth circuit, St. Louis Ninth circuit, San Francisco. Tho circuit court is made an a^pellato court exclusively, except that it has the power to isi?ue all remedial process. Tho bill withdraws all original jurisdiction now vested in the circuit courts of tho United Statos and vests the same exclusively in tho district courts of the United States. This bill, it is believed, will greatly ralieve tho Supremo Court, which is now over threo years behind in its work. 8KNATK.

WASHINGTON, April 16.—The Senate yesterday after tho transacting of routine business, resumed tho consideration of tho Montana eloction case, Senator Morgan (Ala.) taking the floor in favor of Clark and Maginnls.

After Senator Morgan had concluded Senator Daniel (Va.) took the floor and made an argument in favor of the Democratic contestants. Senator Hoar (Mass.) then requested that the Senate fix the time for taking a final vote upon tho case to-day at 5 o'clock. The motion was agreed to.

Senator Cameron (Pa.) introduced a service pension bill whioh has been approved by the Pennsylvania Service Pension Association. It provides that all persons who served ia the late war shall receive a service pension of eight dollars a month, and in addition a per dlom pension of ono cent for every day's service. Widows of those persons shall be entitled to a pension of 812 a month.

Senator Hatvley (Conn.) gave notice that he would call up the world's fair bill for discussion Friday.

TO INCREASE THE CURRENCY. Mr. Dorsey (Neb.) has introduced in tho House a bill similar to the ono Introduced Monday by Senator Plumb in the Senate, which tnakes available for public use all of the money except $10,000,000 now held for the redemption of National bank notes from banks which have gone into liquidation.

Mr. Dorsey has taken the position from the beginning of this Congress that there is too much idle money In the Treasury, and that something should bo dono to put it into tho hands of tho people. Ho said Tuesday afternoon that corn in Nebraska would be worth twenty cents a bushel as soon as the $140,000,000 or $150,000,000 whioh Senator Plumb and others have proposed to put into circulation is released from tho Treasury. It is proposed to put this money into circulation by redeeming the outstanding 4i per cent, bonds which fall duo a year from next September. Mr. Dorsey says that this measure can bo passed in the nouse, and ftlso that875,000,000 of the$100,000,000of gold coin held in tho Treasury for the redemption of United Statos notes can bo put into circulation also by being applied to the purchase of per cent. Jbonds.

"Our highest striving must be to support and to advance the work which Lincoln did In be* half of his country und of all the world. In the great conflict, where he led and In which It was our golden opportunity to follow him, It lias been said: 'Ideas were behind the cannon and pplulod !)!0 inushet.' What were these ideas by which Llnooip poisume forever t$P type, tho representative, tho very incarnation of the spirit and purpose of the divine wart Our reply to this question is: 'Humanity—anxious sollcltudo for tbo welfare of his fellow men—sympathy with tho oppressed and tho suflerlng—hatrod of wrong to the humblest human being—our common brotherpood'—these spntlments tilling his soul and guiding his It'o ave oncc (tip secret and sure foundation of the ondurlng place whioh Lincoln holds in the alTectlons of all mankind, "Nowhere can tbo lesson of his wonderful life be more fully studied or more fondly cherished than in thib army society, which traces its origin to that awful time when the ending or that life was felt as a personul bereavement by •11 who fought tho good light that was so ennoblod and so consecratcd by tho death of Its martyr chief. That lesson, whllo It contains almost tho whole future of our country, Is short and s)mple.i Our America to-day is drawing poor to the parting Pt tha foafls. palled almost to blindness by contemplation of tho unrivaled swiftness and splendor of hor march to prestige, to power and to riches, our country may be tempted to reject or may neglect the messago of Abraham Lincoln, That message was often rcpeutod by him In words, and always exhibited by him In his life from his earliest to his latest days on earth. It can be easily and amply given In a single sentence. Ills wliclc life, his very being, seemed to suy to his countrymen: 'Bee to it that every son and daughter of our republic, so far as human laws and human conduct avail, shall have an equal cbance and fair start in the race of life.

"On tbo other hand let the American people —especially let all wko stood by Lincoln on tbe pcnllous edge of battle, In support of the rights of human miture—remain steadfastly true to the ideas for which they fought In the sacred war. and we shnll thus do all that In us lies to link tho dustluy of our country to the stars, and to entitle her Institutions to share ID that Immortality which, uuder the allotment of Providence in tho nflalrs of nations, belongt always and only to eternal Justlcc."

Honrs nnd llettur Pay.

TIN- TROT-ULP. IN CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, April lti.—Tho building trade in Chicago is almost at a standstill. The striking carpenters have fulfilled their promise to tie up the town. A few attempts to do work have been mado by the bosses, but in most instances but one man reported for work where fifty should have been engaged. But there are no carpontors to be had in Chicago to work for love or money until the bosses rocognizo tbo union. Tbo strikers havo a system that works like a charm. There is not a point of any consequence in tho Uniled States from which any man can start with a kit of tools without notice being sent at once to Chicago. In a radius of sixty-five miles around Chicago members of the carpenters' unions are stationod at every town along every railroad, and no carpenter can pass them without having tho fact wirod to the strike committee. In this way the local men can meet ovory now arrival, and in most cases capture him for the union.

Should the carpontors' strike continue throe days longer most of tho brick-makers and planing-mills will be obliged to shut down. Work can only be continued upon buildings now In process of erection till the last of the week at the furthest. Then, for lack of carpenter work, It must be discontinued, and the domaud for material will cease. This will throw many thousand more men out of employment

Two hundred cloak-makers employed by Siegel & Bros., of this city, are on strike to sustain tho demand of twentyfive cutters for a 25 per cent increase in pay. 1II.E PI,ASKS.
